There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top.
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there.)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there.)
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there.)
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there.)
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there.)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there.)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
(That's my soul up there.)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there.)
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
There's a little black spot on the sun today.
It's the same old thing as yesterday
I have stood here before in the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain.
I guess I always thought you could end this reign,
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain...
King Of pain [x3]
I will always be king of pain
(I have stood here before in the pouring rain)
I will always be king of pain
(With the world turning circles running 'round my brain)
I will always be king of pain
(I guess I always thought you could end this reign)
I will always be king of pain
(But it's my destiny to be the king of pain)
I will always be king of pain
I will always be king of pain
(I have stood here before in the pouring rain)
I will always be king of pain
(With the world turning circles running 'round my brain)
King of pain
(I guess I always thought you could end this reign)
King of pain
(But it's my destiny to be the king of pain)
King of pain

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
